Sharon Heaton, the founder of sbLiftOff and a leading small business, growth strategies and M&A SME, talks with Christine Williamson about the GAUGE Report (Government compliance, Accounting, Utilization, Growth, Efficiency), the annual review of government contracting put out each year by CohnReznick and Unanet. This year’s GAUGE Report, titled “Mastering Resource Planning and Project Execution,” emphasized improving “utilization.” This year’s report also includes a survey from February and March in which GovCon business owners and executives relay their thoughts on the significant changes to government contracting in 2025.
Topics covered:
- How DOGE was felt across sectors
- M&A activity varied according to “tiers,” from sb set aside to full and open
- What the authors meant by “Big Utilization”
- Going forward tips on how to grow and sell
